Cut off the jobs and they wont come.. it is pretty simple, but it seems the right wing of the US political sphere cant see that. No they focus all their rage against the illegals, usually by stereotyping while giving the private sector a free pass. It is ironic.. the right should see the problem with their views, since it is exactly the same views that the neo nazi white pride freaks have been promoting for decades.. but oh well.
Fine to oblivion and/or take away business licenses from companies who higher illegals and put on huge fines.. like 5 years minimum wage for example, for any private citizen who employs an illegal. That would put enough incentive to stop employing illegals and if that happens, the illegals wont come. It is cheaper to be dirt poor unemployed in Mexico than in the US after all (cost of living).
I agree that cracking down on employers is one part of the solution. Now why in the heck is Obama suing Az over the employer sanction bill passed two years ago?
Supreme Court to Review Arizona Employer Sanctions Law - New America Media
"The U.S. Supreme Court agreed on Monday to review a controversial Arizona statute aimed at imposing severe sanctions on employers who knowingly hire undocumented immigrant workers. This law has already set precedence for similar local legislation being passed in other states across the country.
The Monday hearing was the first time that the highest tribunal in the country considered addressing the constitutionality of a state bill — the Legal Arizona Workers Act (LAWA) — that deals with immigration issues.
LAWA was signed by former Gov. Janet Napolitano, now secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, and took effect on Jan.1, 2008. It was challenged by a coalition of business groups, but it didn't get as much national attention as the passage in April of SB 1070, which will allow law enforcement to arrest and detain undocumented immigrants in Arizona."
It seems evertime a State like Arizona tries do improve the situation to reduce "illegals", this administration steps in as says "No". If the Feds would do the job, the State would not have to step in. This has been building over many adminstrations. It seems Obama just does not get it.
IMO we cannot totally seal our borders. We can take steps to reduce the numbers crossing illegally everyday. More boots on the ground, barriers in certain locations, going after employers, stop rendering assistance to those who cross the desert and get in trouble, etc.
and yes, I agree we need immigration reform to allow for workers in support to certain business that require it. I will take acception to Amercans won't do the work. I for one have worked on farms in my younger days as a field hand. I also worked for a tree service. If that is what you need to feed yourself, get off you axx and get to work. There is no insult to do manual labor jobs.
